    I do not think there should be any time period for reporting missing persons. People are not stupid they know if someone is not around and if its out of character or not, especially in this day and age with mobiles. If someone who is always on time is a half hour late and they wont answer their calls that to me is evidence enough. And say they do turn up 5 mins later ? So what, id rather waste 5 mins of police time than loose hours on a search for someone who really is missing.

      Or, it could have been a burglary, and she returns to surprise the burglars, in which case they kill her.
      Or.....a million other things.
      Neighbors werent stalking her ffs. They didnt have eyes set on her at all times.

We don’t subscribe to judeo-christian notions like satanism or the devil. If you want to find an LA area pagan, go to a soup kitchen or an animal shelter and find a volunteer.

      It's extremely common when a child dies/goes missing. Everyone grieves differently, and it sounds like the fathers obsession with finding his daughter - while completely justified- turned him into a bitter man towards his wife. He maybe felt like she "just didn't care about their daughter as much as him" if she was wanting to move on to the best of her ability. It's sad, but so many couples separate after losing a child.

They found out later it was a teenage boy that grew up with the girls older brother and lived across the street from her. He had also sexually assaulted her. So it would seem to me to disappear so close to home and not have a suspect means obviously it's someone close to home that no one subconsciously sees as a threat. Someone with a sexual deviancy and probably a young adult Male that knows her. This is so unfortunate that these trained police would rather believe in an alien abduction than the obvious. That one of their own Georgetown residents is a rapist and murderer. Wouldn't doubt for a second if it was an official's child.

      @@sisu4134 exactly sis! Now tell me this....if two none police officials can put this together for a suspect. Why couldnt they? Cause they have no motivation or incentive for doing so. I hate the corruption of this world. And I hate that people blame some entity for the free will decisions that real life humans make daily in regards to taking a life they didnt create. No there is a special place for those who choose to go against God and what is natural

    I hope nobody lies about how my smile lit up a room when I'm gone...."the couple people who knew her expressed shock that the killer even gave her a second glance. In a room full of people, no one knew who she was or what she was doing there, if they even noticed her at all"

    I’ve lived in Austin for 20+ years, I remember the billboards with her name and face. I think some of them might still be up, maybe the last one I saw was only a few years ago. Her face was everywhere.
